Art Supplies near Syracuse, NY

“Great store and community space!
I’ve been to this store for a few years now, and they have some of the most helpful staff an art store could have. They have a community space they use to host art classes, a good loyalty system, and an upstairs space where local artists sell their pieces. The only reason this isn’t five stars is because of how testing supplies works. For a while you could test most of their colored pencils, pens, and markers on test sheets, incredibly useful considering they sell high end supplies such as Copic and prismacolor. Have not been there for a few weeks, however last time I was there they did not have a test sheet for most coloring products, which is frustrating seeing as some people may want to see how colors layer before buying them. I say this because I bought three browns, was unable to check which red would be useful as an undertone for skin, and ended up with wildly ashy and unrealistic skin tones. This is probably just user error on my part, but it was nice when they had sheets out to test colors.”

“It can’t be called a true Code Orange here at Hobby Lobby as they Do Not carry Halloween, but fall is in the air and there are pumpkins everywhere! On a sweltering summer day this was a much needed retreat looking forward to Fall days. Upon entering the store the fragrances of cinnamon, pumpkin spice, nutmeg, sweep over and you know the cooler Fall days are coming! They have everything you could possibly want or need for your Fall celebrations, Thanksgiving meals, and decking out your domicile! I left with a cart of pumpkin decor, potpourri, and more all at 40% off! I’m coming back for the fall trees and large pumpkins on the top shelves that are waiting to come down! Christmas is making its way down the aisles as well, but it’s Hello Fall for me! Fast and friendly service at checkout. The ladies did offer to get down the Fall trees I was eyeing but short on time and gives me an excuse to return and meander through Fall decor.”

“Absolutely best fabric store. The staff are awesome! Friendly, knowledgeable, and so helpful. I'm a 60 year old guy. Not your typical sewer or crafter. Been shopping at Joann's forever. Have always been treated like a member of their family. Unlike another craft store that has Lobby in its name, get sneers and odd looks there. Always find everything I need in one trip to Joann, and love the sales and coupons! There's nothing like being able to see and have the tactile experience when shopping for fabric either. Cant get that online.
Long live Joann!”

“I called ahead to make sure they had what I needed. They were very helpful and answered my question. They held the item for me up front near the registers. So easy to pick up my item.”
